As titled, I am looking to finally step out of my comfort zone and buy my first property.

If you really hustle and are smarter than the average bear, you may make enough money that you can buy an investment property.

The ability to effectively self manage would depend on the scale you are trying to buy. 

It is exactly what it sounds like, buying a property that has an existing debt on it.

But here’s what separates the long term successful investors from the wanna bes, the hopefuls, and the people attending every seminar and buying every mentorship and never establishing a successful track record1- the ability to IDENTIFY a deal - most deals are not  advertised at a great price - negotiation is needed.

Who talked you into buying the Costa Mesa condo? 

Great points, ZharaBirmingham has relatively steady and diverse rental demand, and I’ve seen many investors I work with have success with C/B class buy-and-holds.Location is key—areas near UAB, major employers, and popular suburbs tend to have the strongest rental demand, while C/D class markets offer solid affordable housing and Section 8 opportunities.

Buy a quality property, stay away from the hood, rehab it as if you would move in, take your time picking a tenant, you'll be find.

I am looking to purchase an extended stay hotel. I would like a book or program recommendations in order to learn how to purchase and manage the extended stay hotel. Thanks for any help you can provide! 

So far, I’ve closed two deals, and both required some creative structuring to make them work.One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that real estate isn’t just about buying and selling—it’s about solving problems.
